    Completed LSx (or 1 or 6 or 7 or...)?

    1 and a half years at a chevy dealership specializing in vettes. the rock knock wasnt crazy common but have seen it, and piston slap is as common as a 7m with forged pistons. Though oil consumption actually had a TSB on the c6 vettes IIRC. Built no doubt, notice i said "Stock", anything built...

    Completed LSx (or 1 or 6 or 7 or...)?

    Reliable is never something i would rely on when talking about any product GM makes. ive seen a few c5 z06's with under 30k with rod knock, not to mention BAD piston slap stock when cold. Also ive herd stock ls1's can only handle roughly 500 horsepower, building a LSx isnt cheap. the cost of...

    And you can prolly pick up a complete motor, 6speed tranny and harness for less then the same for a 2jz. if you want a LSX motor buy a vette or a camaro, its lighter and no swap necessary and more, cheaper aftermarket support. for the money of doing the swap you could have either a jz or...

    tuning out fuel cut fcon/gcc v.1 combo

    No problem :) If that only adjusts WOT then that would be perfect. I don't have any FCON experience so i was unsure of that adjustment.

    first time at dyno

    Ah alright, thats good then :) got confused when you said he said his wideband is a point richer, should be his wideband reads a point leaner. 400 should be no problem at all with a few more psi, earlier then 22, prolly more like 18-19psi.

    first time at dyno

    a point richer meaning its really 13:1? thats a little on the lean side, i wouldnt go any leaner then 12.5 but i dont like pushing it.

    Engine cuts out if I don't follow through with shift sometimes.

    it only slows the throttle plates last like 5-6% movement to give better ability to stabilize the engine rpm rather then it just slamming totally closed. doesn't let any air in. To test it, with the car off open the throttle and pinch the little piece of vac line between the actuator and the...

    tuning out fuel cut fcon/gcc v.1 combo

    No problem, its very useful to be able to see the fuel trim on the same screen as your airfuel. So all you can do is + or - fuel overall? i wouldnt lean it out like that if its across the board because after a couple drives the tccs will adapt and re-tune itself back to the way it was. I...

    tuning out fuel cut fcon/gcc v.1 combo

    Whats do you have hooked up to user input? i put the VF on mine so i could also datalog what the TCCS was trying to do to make tuning easier. Also you will be able to tell when the TCCS is in open loop because the VF will peg 0 and you can figure out like what rpm, tps and boost level you can...

    tuning out fuel cut fcon/gcc v.1 combo

    Doesnt look like thats where its hitting fuel cut. attach the Zeitronix file so i can check it out, i use Zeitronix its such an awesome program. youll need to ean out the top end by scaling the AFM signal to make the TCCS see less airflow leaning the mixture and raising fuel cut. by that little...

    low rpm knock advice

    wow thats simple enough. based on your other custom parts, i was expecting you to say it was like welded in each hole and to the ring gear then CNC cleaned, forged and coated in some crazy expensive mixture or something.
